The San Jose Sharks’ Patrick Marleau scored a beautiful power play goal against the Ducks, picking up a loose rebound and firing it in to a nearly-empty net.
Unfortunately for him, he did it after time had expired.
Referee Justin St. Pierre (#12) signaled a goal and the red light came on, but time had clearly run out.
Marleau's goal not counted as the review shows that no time remained on the clock. Ducks lead 1-0 to end the first.
